It is submitted that had his right to appeal not been curtailed by his deportation, his case would still have been in the Canadian judicial system when the Supreme Court of Canada determined, in United States of America v. Burns, that except in exceptional cases, assurances must be requested in all cases in which the death penalty could otherwise be imposed, and he would have benefited from it.
Alega que si la deportación no lo hubiera privado de su derecho a recurrir, su caso no habría salido del sistema judicial canadiense, puesto que el Tribunal Supremo del Canadá determinó en el caso United States of America c. Burns que, salvo en casos excepcionales, deben exigirse garantías en todas las causas en que pudiera imponerse la pena de muerte y el autor se habría valido de esa circunstancia.
